Danny, in theory you are right, however this solution won't help much in rough terrain, as the idea of incorporating track with the vehicle is to be able to move forward when there is no such thing as a flat surface.

I have looked over the route you posted and have some questions. It looks like you have 4 branches on your switch. How did you get it to compress the graphic of this part so that it doesn't fill up the worksheet? Thanks for your time, Tom (20 years ago, 5-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)
